What is the accuracy of combined Lung Ultrasound (LUS) and clinical assessment for diagnosing acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in patients presented to the emergency department with acute dyspnea, compared to a traditional work up?
Lung Ultrasound: 
 - AUC: 94.5
 - Sensitivity - 93.5
 - Specificity - 95.5
 - LR+ 20.9
 - LR- 0.07
CXR + pro-BNP: 
 - AUC: 87.2
 - Sensitivity - 85.0
 - Specificity - 89.4
 - LR+ 8.0
 - LR- 0.17
